Degenerative Arthritis

Also known as osteoarthritis, DA typically begins to display symptoms in people as early as their twenties, and is the most common chronic condition among seniors. This often very painful condition is often a product of joint overuse or misuse, which results in a degradation of the cartilage that protects and cushions the joints. Once the cartilage becomes worn or rough, the surrounding nerves can become easily inflamed and constricted. Adjusting the spine helps to free the irritated nerves that serve all areas of the body, and loosens the supporting spinal muscles whose inflammation can limit healing circulation to those areas. Allowing increased movement and circulation helps to heal the joints and provide pain relief without potentially harmful or addictive medication.
